The Mizoram (Establishment of Independent Local Body) Ombudsman (Amendment) Act, 2012

General20124 sections

This Act amends the Mizoram (Establishment of Independent Local Body) Ombudsman Act to expand the scope of local governance oversight. It modifies the definition of a Local Body to include Village Councils, Local Councils, and any other notified institutions of local self-government. Furthermore, the legislation replaces specific references to "Village Council" and "Village Councils" with the broader terms "Local Body" and "Local Bodies" throughout the principal Act. This change ensures the Ombudsman can investigate and address complaints from a wider range of local administrative bodies, thereby strengthening accountability in local governance.
